Hola Amigos, We made pizza again on P'day as a district. This time we made a BBQ pizza and it was pretty good if you asked me! While we were there one of the Hermanas was throwing up and stuff so I gave her a blessing. Now she's all good so that's dope. I have a pretty creep experience that happened this week... So, I love studying spanish because I can build better relationships with the people here with that skill. So I study a lot. I even practice my accent on the balcony of our house. One day I was practicing my RR's in Spanish. I was on the balcony saying Guerra, Guerra, Guerra, La Guerra fria, etc. I then looked down and there was a lady like 3 feet below me in the other house looking at me out her window. I stopped talking and thought to myself what she must have been thinking. I was saying War, War, War, The Cold War! I started laughing because I just couldn't help it. She saw me laughing and went inside her house with a weirded out look and I did the same. Guuuulp. The work has been dificult this passed week because of Semana Santa. Everybody left for vacations. Including our investigators. Pretty much nobody was home to contact so we decided to try and find some former investigators. We walked down to find a kid that has 13 years. He went to the church once and had a date. We yelled buenas and he came out! But something was off.... He was BOLO!!! He was tripping soooo hard saying the weirdest things! It made me kind of sad just thinking of his life and how he already drinks beer. He said come back another time. So we bailed. Conference was prob my favorite conference I've ever seen! I'M SERIOUS! They really enphasized in 2 things. The pure love of Christ towards him, God, and everyone else. Also personal revelation. We need the spirit. We must live lives guided by the spirit and revelation. We need to learn to recieve revelation or we will fall into temptation much easier. That doesn't mean to sit there and pray to recieve inspiration. We must act and do the work required to recieve the holy ghost. Studying, Praying, Service, Church, etc. We can combine these two things easily. Love, and revelation. We can pray and act in order to recieve revelation in how we can help specific people with dificulties going through trials. Then we can express our love for them like Jesus Christ did when he was here. I learned so much more! I loved the example of the kayak going upstream. The one of emptying the water our of our boats as an example of lightening our burdens through repentence. The small simple things can make huge diferences in our lives. If we continually do good small simple things it will become grand in the future. But remember that satan uses the same techniques to tempt us. I know that every speaker in this general conference recieved personal revelation from god in order to teach us and to help us. Russell M. Nelson is the man on the watchtower there to warn us. He is the Lord's living mouthpiece here on the earth. This is the true church. This is the Church of Jesus Christ. I challenge you to study ponder and pray about these talks continually. I love you guys and have a great week! Elder Sullivan
